Full Circle

Standing in a well known pharmacy looking at the things that my daughter
uses, I was struck by the presence of a pregnant lady standing next to me with
her partner. They were looking into
getting things for their first child and I recalled being in that same position
once myself. A lady before me had imparted her knowledge of various products to
me and I felt I’d come full circle as we got talking.

She asked me what I would recommend and I said that it was
difficult to know what to suggest as every birth is different. I only got the
bottles my daughter now uses on a whim literally a few days before her birth. I
wasn’t sure that I’d need them but it soon became one of the most important
aspects to her feeding. Unable to breast feed these bottles became invaluable.

There was also an offer at the time on the products I got so
I opted for paper pants, liners and breast pads. I used the first two but alas
the box of breast pads remains unopened.

I was also recommended Lansinoh breast cream but sadly we
weren’t able to use that either.

So as regards recommendations I’d opt for liners, throw away
pants and bottles. Obviously this is personal choice and some would feel much
better with some feel good pants on after the birth of their child/ren and
bottles aren’t always used at the beginning of their little ones life. Whatever
you choose it’s not easy to be fully prepared for what the future has in hold
for you but then don’t forget you can send out other family/friends to get
things in for you.

During the month of March we travelled to Henley and not
only did we pick up some books, chairs and a table. I also noticed some lovely
little fancy dressing up shoes for £1 each. My eldest has recently discovered
my wedding shoes and been playing with them so I decided to pick up a couple of
pairs from the charity shop basket and take them home. Sadly there was no
dressing up dresses to go with these princess shoes but one day soon I’d like
to address this problem.

Of course if you don’t make sure you put things safely away
then little hands get hold of things. Yes you've guessed it those little shoes were
subjected to being discovered by baby and her mouth! She’s always hungry and
discovering the world by her mouth but munching on feathers is not a great way
to find a nutritious meal! So the shoes were then in need of a makeover.

Fortunately for my girls they have a creative mother who could
see that with a little magic they could be refashioned into something to
treasure. Fi…

As we wound our way down the country lanes to what felt like
the middle of nowhere in our family car I couldn't help but feel excited for
what the day would bring. We were promised a fun filled packed day with lots of
outdoor demonstrations and our day with The Bushcraft Company did not
disappoint.

Walking down the stone covered paths it is easy for your
mind to conjure up pan piped music similar to that you’d hear in Peter Pan’s
Indians settlement. For nestled amongst the trees are tents that for the summer
are home to several teachers who know a lot about bushcraft. Fire Workshop & Wilderness Cookery

We’d arrived in time for lighting fires and our instructor
who reminded my husband of Bear Grylls sounded enthusiastic about showing us
the variety of ways it is possible to make fires. We then split into smaller
tribes and had a chance to practice what we had just seen. We collected lots of sticks and bark to put into
the fire and Kerry from Blissful Domestication was keen to…

When we were packing for our recent holiday trip to France we soon realised that making sure you've got the right clothing for the holiday is perhaps not the main thing to worry about. The main thing is to keep your sanity and not have a screaming match from bored kids in the back of a car.

So before we headed off to France to see our family I had a read of a few posts on entertaining kids on road trips and came up with our own little list. My girls are aged 2 and 1 and so I bared this in mind when providing them with suitable things to keep them occupied.
Carboot Sales

Most of the things we took were sourced from a number of carboot sales we headed to during the summer such as the dolls, an etch a sketch, a jigsaw puzzle and a variety of activity books as well as reading books with her current favourite character Peppa Pig.
Charity Shop

I also like to have a nosy around the odd charity shop while out and about. You never know what you may find and if there isn't a carboot sal…
